Settings Uses
Hi Use Hi to bring liquid to a boil, or reach pressure in a
pressure cooker. Always reduce setting to a lower heat when
liquids begin to boil or foods begin to cook.
An intermediate flame size is used to continue cooking. Food
will not cook any faster when a higher flame setting is used
than needed to maintain a gentle boil. Water boils at the same
temperature whether boiling gently or vigorously.
Lo
Use Lo to simmer foods, keep foods warm and melt
chocolate or butter.
Some cooking may take place on the Lo setting if the pan is
covered. It is possible to reduce the heat by rotating the knob
toward OFF. Be sure flame is stable.
USING YOUR COOKTOP
4
SURFACE CONTROLS
CAUTIONS:
SUGGESTED HEAT SETTINGS
• If flame should go out during a cooking
operation, turn the burner off. If a
strong gas odor is detected, open a
window and wait five minutes before
relighting the burner.
• Be sure all surface controls are set to
the OFF position prior to supplying gas
to the cooktop.
• NEVER touch cooktop until it has
cooled. Expect some parts of the
cooktop, especially around the burn-
ers, to become warm or hot during
cooking. Use potholders to protect
hands.
SURFACE CONTROL
KNOBS
Use to turn on the
surface burners. An
infinite choice of heat
settings is available
from Lo to Hi. At the
Hi setting a detent or
notch may be felt. The
knobs can be set on or between any of the
settings.
SETTING THE
CONTROLS
Your cooktop has sealed gas burners with
automatic re-ignition. If the burner flame
should go out, the system will automatically
spark to re-ignite the burner.
1. Place a pan on the burner grate. (To
preserve the grate finish, do not oper-
ate the burners without a pan on the
grate to absorb the heat from the burner
flame.)
2. Push in knob and turn immediately coun-
terclockwise to the desired setting.
• A clicking (spark) sound will be heard
and the burner will light. (All ignitors
will spark when any surface burner
knob is turned on. However, only
the selected burner will light.)
The size and type of cookware will affect the heat setting. For information on cookware
and other factors affecting heat settings, refer to “Cooking Made Simple” booklet.
OPERATING DURING A
POWER FAILURE
1. Hold a lighted match to the desired
surface burner head.
2. Push in and turn the control knob slowly
to the desired setting.
CAUTIONS:
•When lighting the surface burners, be
sure all of the controls are in the OFF
position. Strike the match first and
hold it in position before turning the
knob.
•Do not leave the cooktop unattended
when cooking during a power failure.
The automatic re-ignition feature will
not operate during a power failure.
